Top 3. Quick AVI Creator

Quick AVI Creator is a video converter that supports a few major conversion formats.

Load a file, select where to save it, and then choose an output format. There aren’t many options, but you can select particular subtitle or audio tracks to use when converting.

While Quick AVI Creator doesn’t export videos to a massive list of file types, it does support the three major ones.

• Input Formats: ASF, AVI, DIVX, DVD, FLV, F4V, MKV, MP4, MPEG, and WMV
• Output Formats: AVI, MKV, and MP4

Top 4. WinFF

WinFF is a video converter program that supports popular formats and features like editing and cropping.

First select an output device or file format and then click Add to import a video file. Crop or rotate the video, among other options, and then click Convert to finish.

• Input Format: AVI, MKV, MOV, MPEG, OGG, VOB, and WEBM
• Output Format/Devices: AVI, BlackBerry, Creative Zen, DV, DVD, Google/Android, Apple iPod, LG, MPEG4, Nokia, Palm, PlayStation 3/PSP, QT, VCD, Walkman, and WMV

A major problem WinFF seems to have is that it crashes in Windows 8 if you try to change the output folder for converted files.



Top 5. YouConvertIt

YouConvertIt is an online video converter service that will convert many popular video formats. You just upload the video file and wait for an email link to the converted file.

• Output Formats: 3GP, ASF, AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, RM, SWF, and WMV

The biggest disadvantage with YouConvertIt is the wait time to upload the video and receive your email. Their 200MB file size limit is certainly disappointing as well considering the fact that many video files can exceed this size.



Top 5+. Format Factory

Format Factory is a multifunctional media converter.

First select the file type your video should be converted to, then load the file. Advanced options are available like editing the audio channel, aspect ratio, and bitrate.

• Output Formats: 3GP, AVI, FLV, MP4, MPG, SWF, and WMV

During setup, Format Factory tries to install a program you may or may not want. Easily stop this by choosing Decline.



After testing the 6 converted below, I recommend a top desktop media converting software - Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate for its good capability of supporting nearly all the main stream formats (e.g. MKV, AVI, WMV, Tivo, MP4, VOB, MPG, MXF, MPG, MOV, M4V, FLV, F4V, MTS, M2TS, M2T, TS, WMA, ASF, DVR-MS, WAV, DTS in WAV, RM, RMVB, RA, QT, 3GP, 3G2, DV, M4B, DAT, M2V, MOD, TOD, TP, EVO, MVI), easy-to-use interface and many considerate small features like video/audio editing before conversion. Moreover, the Mac version supports some special codecs for NLEs like FCP, iMovie, FCE, Avid, Adobe, etc. which is very important to me
